The
complex
traces
its
origin
to
a
garden
in
the
region
of
Niavaran,
which
was
used
as
a
summer
residence
by
Fath-Ali
Shah
(1772–1834)
of
the
Qajar
Dynasty.[citation

A
pavilion
was
built
in
the
garden
by
the
order
of
Naser
ed
Din
Shah
(1831–1896)
of
the
same
dynasty,
which
was
initially
referred
to
as
Niavaran,
and
was
later
renamed
Saheb
Qaranie.
The
pavilion
of
Ahmad
Shah
Qajar
(1898–1930)
was
built
in
the
late
Qajar
period.[citation

During
the
reign
of
the
Pahlavi
Dynasty,
a
new
palace
named
Niavaran
was
built
for
the
imperial
family
of
Mohammad
Reza
Shah
(1919–1980).
The
palace
was
designed
in
1958
and
completed
in
1967.
It
served
a
variety
of
purposes
for
the
imperial
court
including
as
a
home
for
the
Shah
and
Empress
as
well
a
place
to
entertain
visiting
foreign
heads
of
state.
